Radio Margaritaville

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a satellite radio station, with no properly sourced indication of passing WP:NMEDIA. SiriusXM channels are not automatically presumed notable just because they exist, but must show enough reliable source coverage about them in media to clear WP:GNG -- but the only references shown here at all are SiriusXM's own primary source press releases and channel lineup brochures. Both NMEDIA and WP:OUTCOMES specify that satellite radio stations only get their own articles if they can be properly sourced as notable, and are not automatically entitled to have standalone articles if they're referenced exclusively to primary sources. Redirect to a related topic would also be acceptable, but I can see several different possible redirect targets -- the SiriusXM channel list, Jimmy Buffett, the "merchandising" section of Margaritaville -- and don't know which one to propose.

 * Keep. I have expanded the article with the help of several references. Some coverage - especially pertaining to its history before Sirius - exists behind paywalls, but with the additions there should now be enough properly sourced material to support a standalone article.  gongshow  talk  07:08, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per expansion above. Seems to meet the level of notability, and different from the proposed merge topic. Sadads (talk) 04:13, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Also pageviews suggest that the article is of public interest, Sadads (talk) 04:15, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
